Days are shorter and sunlight is less intense. What's to blame? Why have so many trees and shrubs dropped their leaves? Are mammals the only creatures that hibernate? Do some insects really construct sleeping bags to survive the winter? Where have all the reptiles and amphibians gone? And why are some birds able to stay with us throughout the winter while others have to leave? Where on Earth, in the dead of winter, can I find a reliable promise of spring? And where can I find an even more reliable promise in the evening sky? Come join us as we explore some of the marvels of the winter season. Walks are free and begin at the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge's Visitor Center at 10 am. Length of walk depends on what we encounter along the path and where we linger, but you can leave as it suits youl schedule! Binoculars, appropriate dress and sunscreen are recommended. All ages welcomed, please leave pets at home! December walks are scheduled for 12/20 & 12/27. Pete Saracino/Refuge Volunteer Naturalist/New York State Master Naturalist Volunteer
